Bring on the color! Today’s Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge includes a yummy combination of Primrose Petals, Pool Party and Real Red.  I used plenty of Whisper White to keep the look uncomplicated!  Check out the rest of the colorful challenge cards designed by the PPA Resident Artist Team and play along HERE.

STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:

  • The top Real Red flag was sliced down the middle and spaced slightly apart to give it more “architecture.”

  • Stampin’ Up! Glue Dots keep the button (Sale-A-Bration Sycamore Street Ribbon & Button Pack) and Primrose Petals Dahlia in place.
  • Bling!  A Stampin’ Up! Rhinestone Basic Jewel accents the bird cage (image from Aviary stamp set).

  • The sentiment is from Sweet Essentials stamp set–the perfect basic for day to day stamping.
  • Jet Black Stazon provides a crisp impression and dries quickly on Stampin’ Up!’s Whisper White card stock.  FYI:  Stampin’ Up! is working on a solution for improved dry time of Basic Black Classic Ink on our Whisper White and Very Vanilla card stock.
